PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method and a device for repairing a TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage composite) of a patient's wrist. SOLUTION: The device includes first and second anchor bodies that are connected to one another with a suture. The first anchor body is positioned across a torn portion of the TFCC, and the second anchor body is positioned across the anchoring tissue. The first anchor body is configured to be passed through a portion of the TFCC of a patient's wrist and an anchoring tissue, preferably using a delivery device, so that the suture extends between them. Then, the suture is tensioned to anchor the TFCC to the anchoring tissue. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
